I like the orange outline - reminds me of the G501. Though I'm not too keen on the idea of not having a wrist-rest. Then again, this thing is too damn thin.... hopefully it doesn't throttle or overheat with that 1070 aka 1080 LITE.

1080 MAX-Q.... what a scam

It's a 1070 + OC being sold for the price of a 1080.

Just get a nice slim 1060 / 1070 15.6" laptop and save some money, and disappointment.

For these thin laptops a 1060 is about all they can cool under full performance OC.

Move up to a large frame 17.3" for a 1070 / 1080

Not to mention that a 1060 is perfectly fine for ANY game out at the moment. I'd say buying a 1500$ 1060 laptop now and a new 1500$ 1260 laptop or 680 laptop in 2-3 years is a MUCH better option than buying a 4000$ 1070/1080 machine today.

It's pretty interesting for sure, but I wonder how long moving parts like that will last. With the bottom opening up like that, it seems like a very easy way to suck dust into the fan as well, as I don't see much in the way of filters.

As someone who owns a cat, that is a very scary proposition. Other pet owners will sympathise. Edit: Does anyone know if that opening is serving as exhaust only?

I am very curious to see how well the 1080 MAX EW *i mean Q* performs in real world situations, though, but from preliminary information, it's not super appealing, especially not once you factor in the 10X0+1 tax. That is, a 1070 MAX Q performs at a 1060 but is priced like a 1070. +1 tax. The 1080 MAX Q performs like a 1070, but is priced like a 1080. +1 tax.

OK, that is pretty awesome; the bottom opens up 0.5" when opening the lid for cooling. Reminds me of my IBM 760ED which had the keyboard lift when opened. Its available with the GTX 1070, may be worth getting if the price is right (no reason to spend extra for the GTX 1080 Max-Q)View attachment 145903

It is available with the GTX 1070. If it is $400 or more cheaper, may be worth getting that model. but not if it is still more than $2500

My IBM 760ED still works great. I use it sometimes to play Win 95 games. But IBM was a very robust brand.

I would hope that it is exhaust only, and the intake was the large grill above the keyboard.
